DO NOT USE ESSENTIAL OILS FOR COOKING!!!!!essential oils are highly concentrated for aromatherapy, cosmetic, and medicinal use. they can not be used in place of culinary oils or extracts. If you are looking for food safe oils to use in recipeis please consider a brand like LorAnn specifically made for culinary use. If you were to try to replace a recognized culinary oil or extract (keep in mind extracts are not as concentrated as oils) with an essential oil you run the risk of making you or someone else sick at worst and making your food inedible at best.

From the now food site: "A lot of people ask if our essential oils are edible. The answer for most is "Yes, but..." Essential oils are typically labeled For External Use Only as a warning to use them very cautiously, even such pure edible oils as those from lemon or orange peels. Essential oils are very strong and even non-toxic ones may be irritating or uncomfortable if not used carefully and sparingly. If you use a recipe, a greater measure of both success and safety is more assured. The book Aromatherapy for Everyone is co-written by a NOW herbal specialist."

The bottle says that it is for aromatherapy use, but doesn't say not to ingest it so I am not sure. I know there are recipes out there using essential oils and it's probably ok to use. Maybe you should check out NOW website or call their customer service to get their feedback.

I have never heated it and don't see why you would. It is very strong, being granite and so likely would be ok. It is best used for mixing fresh salsas and guacamole, not for cooking.

This is a genuine Canon printer, I bought it at Amazon. I do not know what you mean by 'food grade' relating to printer products.

Yes, it is food grade salt. I have been using it for nothing but my food and I'm doing just fine. :-)

I don't believe it is food grade...it is rated 'therapeutic' grade. If it were food grade I think that would be clearly marked on the bottle info.'

Honestly I did not buy it for cooking....I bought it to put in a bird feeder my husband build but the birds hatted it because it was shiny....Seems to be really heavy duty so I dont think it will warp in the oven. I would buy it again if I needed to :-D

I haven't used it in cooking but I tried some by tasting it. It actually isn't strong at all!

Yes. Definitely. It's good for cooking, it's not my favorite for frying food, it's slow and not hot enough.

I don't see why not, as it is heat stable at high temps. And it doesn't have a strong flavor. However I personally use it for frying and sautéing and prefer baking with butter, coconut oil, or Palm oil.

Sorry... Don't know ... I have not used it for baking/cooking ... only use it in shakes.

I haven't tasted or tried cooking with it. It may be food grade but due to packaging i would not eat it. But it is great for your skin as good or better than other more expensive brands packed and sealed in glass jars.

I personally dont use it for cooking, but YES it absolutely can be. I use it as a lotion daily, In my hair weekly, and sometimes for "oil pulling" This is a great product.

I did not use it for cooked meat, but I would say NO WAY that it could. At least if I had bought one from Walmart I could have returned it after a few months. Please believe me it was a waste of money. Any cheap mini food chopper can process onions, etc. I just used it to break up sour dough bread and it ruined the chopper.

Hi Carrie, I suspect it would cook it OK..........with experimentation. I have no personal knowledge though.

Nope. It's not intended for that use. Just check the internal temperature about half-hour before end of recommended cook time then you'll know how to gauge it.

No idea, but am assuming it is ok for food grade, as no problem with it whatsoever. I am not that happy with this item, as it is not a put your stuff into it and walk away type of rice cooker, as the rice will over cook and stick to pot. You have to do lots of practicing to get it right. For now I have to keep track of how much water I put in, and then hit the switch when it is close to running out. This way I can keep it from sticking to the bottom, and also from being over cooked. Wish I knew of a rice cooker that a person could walk away from, and come back to a perfectly cooked pot of rice.
